Test Stand Users

[RocketflierVB]

Hello all,

I purchased a commercial test stand last year and have test fired 6 motors so far. This last February I took it to a friends farm to test some more and on the first firing the transducer hose blew out (photo). The manufacturer says to fill the transducer with automotive grease but not the hose... Not sure why this happened then...

My question is, What do you guys use to connect your transducer to the test motor. Pictures would be great.

No pic, but we use a piece of SST brake line

Having issues with photos It is a burnt hose. Is the use of Brass fittings that come with the brake lines a problem?

It's not a hose, it's a piece of solid SST line about 12" long and the brass fitting have never been an issue.
